Standards in English a Course of Study in Oral and Written Composition for Elementary Schools (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Excerpt from Standards in English a Course of Study in Oral and Written Composition for Elementary Schools
The beginning of this investigation (to discover a standard for the elementary schools) was made from a negative viewpoint. Following a conference with the teachers of freshman English, in which the purpose of the investigation was talked over at length, a questionnaire was sent to them. They were asked to state very concretely the important weaknesses found most conspicuously on freshman papers. They understood that they were to set down those weaknesses which, by their very nature, branded an English paper as unsatisfactory from the point of view of a teacher of freshman English. Conversely, of course, it followed that the absence of the weaknesses set down would mean work satisfactory from the same viewpoint.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an intensive study of language teaching, with the focus on establishing standards for English in the elementary grades. The author argues that teachers, before attempting to instill language skills in pupils, must first have a clear, narrow set of unchanging parameters to work within. The book delineates these parameters, breaking them down into oral and written categories. While the author classifies technical grammar as being outside the scope of the project, the book includes sections on sentence structure, correct spelling, effective vocabulary building, speech intonation, and the elimination of common grammatical errors. The book is a detailed and useful guide for elementary language teachers, providing a solid foundation for instilling these fundamental skills in their students. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330445822_0
